Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

In the distant waters off Nathan Island, the boundless blue sky meets the undulating blue sea. When a gust of wind from high above the horizon intrudes, the entire sea suddenly surges and roars, like a giant beast with its jaws wide open.

The behemoth seemed to be drooling over the faint breeze, coveting something within it.

High in the sky, a free and easy breeze circled the sea, and no matter how the wind and waves raged, they could not restrain this breeze in the slightest.

The gentle breeze that Zhou Shenghua created seemed to have anticipated the covetousness of the giant beast. It continued to swirl and fly around it, as if unwilling to give up, as if communicating with the giant beast.

To his disappointment, the giant beast remained unmoved by Zhou Sheng's actions; instead, the wind and waves grew increasingly turbulent, as if it desperately wanted to swallow Zhou Sheng whole.

"Sigh, has it really come to this?"

A gentle breeze swirled around, seemingly carrying Zhou Sheng's complex sighs, which were short and followed by a sense of relief and joy.

"Young Lü Qian, I entrust my karmic debts to you to settle."

"Having spent half a lifetime in a frenzy, I've stirred up a lot of trouble; now that I'm old, I'm becoming more lucid and yearn to return to my true self."

"If the golden headband shackles are to be broken, we shall see the Monkey King sever them with a single sword stroke."

"Hahaha, I, Zhou Sheng, have arrived!"

Zhou Sheng's figure appeared briefly in the breeze, seemingly glancing in the direction of Lü Qian in the distance, before laughing loudly and transforming back into a gust of wind, carrying waves and clouds, and rushing into Nathan Island, which had opened its giant maw.

"Hahaha......"

Standing at the bow of the ship, Lu Qian gazed at the waters off Nathan Island. He listened to the hearty laughter carried by the sea breeze, and the catchy, rhythmic, and seemingly classical phrases. His calm expression immediately broke into a chuckle.

"You have your own accounts to settle, and the younger generation has its own responsibilities to bear, so let's do it together."

"Chairman Huang, there's no need to go to Nathan Island this time, because they no longer need to care about it."

He gazed at the various forces swaying in the waters around Nathan Island, sat cross-legged at the bow of the ship, and said leisurely, "As for the Japanese Fish and Dragon Society and the Jade Society, we don't need to worry about them."

"A gluttonous beast was about to devour all these snacks that were delivered to its door."

"Let's stop here and not go any closer, or we'll be mistaken for grocery delivery people."

"Although I am not afraid, you all need to avoid me."

"Alright, I'll listen to Brother Lü Qian."

Huang Boren didn't feel uncomfortable listening to Lü Qian's commanding words. Professionals should do professional things. Since Lü Qian, a master of human affairs, had said that the road ahead was off-limits, they naturally didn't need to walk into a trap.

As for Behemoth, who is eager to land on the island, let them deliver the food.

"I'm curious, Brother Lü Qian, what should we do next?"

"wait."

Lu Qian sat at the bow of the ship, his right hand pointing with his sword and slashing through the air. Instantly, the peach wood sword on his back emitted boundless sword light, its blade glowing as it leaped into the air and transformed into a giant divine sword, hovering above the bow of the ship.

The sharp sword light cleaved through the surrounding wind and waves, and as the blade slid, it drew a circle around the ship.

This circle separated the raging storm and the ever-spreading eerie atmosphere; even the flickering sword light dispelled all the strangeness and protected everyone within it.

After drawing the circle, with a casual gesture, the light of the enormous divine sword hanging in mid-air immediately subsided and returned to his hand.

"Don't go out of this circle. All that's left is to wait until that monster has truly become a demon before you make your move."

Lu Qian slung the wooden sword behind his back, rolled up his sleeves, and sat up quietly. A crimson-gold light flickered in his eyes, reflecting the distant Nathan Island.

"Is this an attempt to bring the Hidden Dragon of Taiyuan back to the world?"
